Gibbons
Gibbons are the nearest relatives to humans that mate for life. They form extremely strong pair bonds and exhibit low sexual dimorphism, which means that males and females of the species are of roughly equal size, a testament to the fact that both sexes are on relatively equal footing in their relationships.

BROWSING INTERNET PICTURES,
I see these gibbons and seem to go visit into their wilds.
Late afternoon, perched in low boughs, they
peer here and there like shaggy, curious kids.
But they do have mates, both of them puzzling
over sticklike insects, edible blossoms on reeds,
other fine foods! All season long they’ve
hardly considered left or right. They’ve
poked among the vine-laced pines, blinking
like absent-minded professors,.... More
Isn't the sexes being two completely different colors in several gibbon species a rather high level of sexual dimorphism? Please check your facts and don't give out incorrect information. People look to you as the authority don't lead them astray.
This is a great lesson to all the human race out there that love has no boundry no matter what race or background you come from
SOOOO CUTE! LOVES ANIMALS!!
And they don't care about the color of their mates fur/hair.
Wonder what color their kids will be?
"...Although gibbons appear to mate for life they, in fact, cheat on each other quite frequently". In other words, they act very much like humans!
Anthropologists have found that although gibbons appear to mate for life, they in fact cheat on each other quite frequently. They keep up a good image, though.
They cheat, but remain pair-bonded. Just a lil somethin' on the side...
This is just too cute!!!
